PhD Position: Additive Manufacturing of Complex Metallic Materials

Prof. Chen’s research group – Processing and Physical Metallurgy (PPM) Laboratory – in the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno, (UNR) is seeking a motivated PhD candidate interested in additive manufacturing of complex metallic materials with exceptional mechanical properties for extreme environments to join from summer 2025 (The specific start date is negotiable).

Project background

This project concentrates on using an additive manufacturing strategy to form and shape metals with designed microstructures, phases, and chemical compositions for outstanding performance. This project aims to advance a novel additive manufacturing technique and establish a processing-microstructure-property relationship to optimize the performance of complex metals.

Position Responsibilities

We are seeking a highly motivated researcher to advance a novel additive manufacturing method for processing advanced alloys with tailored microstructures. This project involves:

• Experimental work in 3D printing of complex metals
• Microstructural characterization
   using electron microscopy
• In situ mechanical testing
   to evaluate material properties
• Data analysis
   to understand process-structure-property relationships
• Manuscript preparation
   for publication in peer-reviewed journals

Preferred profile

• Bachelor or master's degree or equivalent degree in materials science, metallurgical engineering, mechanical engineering, chemistry, physics, or related fields;
• Background in metallography, metals, mechanical properties, crystallography, or solid-state physics is a plus;
• Experience with computational modeling of materials is a plus;

How to apply

Please send the following documents for application to Prof. Chen (mingchen@unr.edu) directly. Only applications with complete documents will be considered.

1. Curriculum Vitae (CV)
    – Including education, dissertation topics, and research experiences.
2. Academic Transcripts
    – Undergraduate and graduate (if applicable).
